3/56

Bakit kailangang magkaroon ng

Anti-VAWC Act?

Ang pang-aabuso sa kababaihan ay isang malagim narealidad sa ating lipunan. Ayon sa Social Weather StationsSurvey noong Nobyembre, 2003, may 21.6M na babae saPilipinas, edad 18 pataas, ang nakaranas o patuloy na

nakakaranas ng pang-aabuso. Ang pang-aabuso ay madalasding gawa ng kanilang mga karelasyon.

Madalas tinitingnan ito bilang normal na bahagi ngbabae kapag siya ay pumasok sa isang relasyon o nag-

kapamilya. Dahil dito, maraming babae ang hindi nagsasalitatungkol sa pang-aabusong kanilang nararanasan. Wala ringbatas ang angkop na tumutugon sa ibat-ibang klase ng

pang-aabusong kanilang nararanasan bago ang Anti-VAWC

Act.


4/56

Sino ang maaring maging biktima ng

VAWC?

Sa ilalim ng batas, babae lamang at ang kanyangmga anak, (babae man o lalaki) ang maaring magingbiktima ng VAWC. Kinikilala ng Anti-VAWC Act ang

hindi pantay na sitwasyon ng babae at lalaki sa usapingpang-aabuso sa loob ng isang relasyon, kung saan angbabae ay higit na dehado.

Sa kabilang banda, maaaring lalaki o babae na dati o

kasalukuyang karelasyon ng babaeng biktimaang mgamaaaring sampahan ng kaso sa ilalim ng batas na ito.


5/56

Ang VAWC ay isang krimen.

Ang VAWC ay isang pampublikong krimen kung

kayat bukod sa babaeng nakakaranas ng pang-aabuso,

ang kasong VAWC ay maaari ding isampa ng kanyang

kapamilya, barangay, social worker o concerned citizens.Dahil din sa ang VAWC ay pampublikong krimen, hindi

dapat ito nireresolba sa pag-aareglo o pamimilit na

makipagkasundo na lamang ang babae sa kanyang

mapang-abusong karelasyon.


6/56

Kabilang sa mga aktong VAWC sa

ilalim ng batas ay:

Pisikal: panggugulpi, paninipa, panunutok ng barilo kahit anumang bagay na nakakasakit

9/56

Ang Battered Woman Syndrome.

Kinikilala ng Anti-VAWC Act ang matinding epekto ngpang-aabuso sa kababaihan, lalo na kung matagal napanahon na nilang nararanasan ito. May mga kaso kung

saan ang matinding galit na tinimpi ng babae ayhumantong sa kanyang pagpatay sa karelasyon dahil ito nalamang ang nakikita niyang paraan upang makawala sa

pang-aabuso.

Sa ganitong sitwasyon, maaaring gamitin bilangdepensa sa korte ang battered woman syndrome upangmapawalang-sala ang babae. Ngunit kailangangmapatunayan muna sa tulong ng psychologist o psychiatrist
